Congrats for all the approvals. Fingers crossed for all others waiting for approval, like me 😊

Thanks for the analysis Zeta.
 
I did a similar search. mine is WAC17283XXXX
 
10 cases before me - Some of them got transferred to other Office, some of them has same Feb 26th glitch update.
10 cases After me - Some of them got transferred to other Office, some of them has same Feb 26th glitch update.
 
Only 1 got approved.
 
So, I believe we ned to wait just couple of weeks to get an update.

Congrats.

You can only select 2, if are applying on basis of divorce.
 
Unless there is an abuse involved, you cannot select other options.

If your divorce is pending and not final you can file jointly (if you want) or file under divorce waiver. When you file (whichever way) you will get a NOA extension letter for 1 year. 
 
Im going to assume you are going to file under divorce waiver. If you want info on what happens if you file jointly please post so..
 
When you file under the waiver but do not send a divorce decree because it hasnt happened yet its a pretty basic procedure. They get your packet and give it a basic check (fees included, signatures etc). If its ok to accept they will accept it and you will get a NOA. Then after some time (months) someone will actually pick up your packet and look at it. They will see the divorce decree is missing and send you an RFE. You will have 87 days to respond with the decree. If you dont have it send the RFE back stating so. If you do- send it in and wait to see if you get an interview or are approved w/o one.
 
If you didnt send the decree they will set you up for an interview. (this can also take week/months to occur). Go to the interview and if you have the decree you give it to them and they will approve/deny you. If you still dont have it the Officer has to 'technically' deny you and send you to court (months) where you present it. If you still dont have it at court the judge will give you time to obtain it.
 
I understand the pinned post on ROC is outdated. However there are many topics in this subforum about this. Browse through them.

Given your marriage was annulled that too because of GC fraud. Your chances are very slim.
 
Just my opinion. 
 
Another strategy atty will use is, just apply only abuse waiver without mentioning Divorce/ without sending divorce decree etc.
 
All the best. 

Every story is different. If yours is a bonafide marriage, you should be ok.
 
They will allow your cellphone, but you cannot use during interview.
 
Just prepare you story well, When you met, how you met, daily chores you guys did etc.
 
All the best. 
 
There are many threads in this forum with interview experiences, please search. 

No one can guarantee a result in Immigration World. It depends on the merits of your evidences. 

Congrats.

agree

You are correct. Even I heard VAWA rules apply for cruelty Waiver.
 
Lot of people got approved, with short marriages if they have credible evidences.
 
I am also in the same boat, waiting for the interview. Fingers crossed!
 
Please keep me posted on your process.
 
When is your Conditional PR expires?

I have seen lot of VAWA filers.
 
Are there any I 751 abuse waivers?
If so, please respond. We can start an excel link to track timelines. 

I believe you should be good, if you have a divorce decree and nice personal statement explaining everything about the relationship.

^That was just the mod moving your thread to a more appropriate location. (You dont need to do anything)
-----
As for your post- if you search in this sub-section (effects of major family changes) you will find many threads about filing the 751 with an abuse waiver. You asked a lot of very specific questions- honestly there are no straightforward answers. I think its better to just go over a general overview first and then if you have specific questions still to ask then--
So generally speaking- The alien in question here needs to file for ROC (removal of conditions) during the 90 days prior to her conditional GC expiring. You can find the dates on the card when it was issued/expired. USCIS expects the 751 form to be jointly filed. However there are what we call waiver tick boxes that you can check to allow you to file on your own with out the other spouse. (Please see the actual form/instructions). These tick boxes include things like widow, divorce, abuse etc. Please note if you are filing with a waiver (tick box) then you can file at any time. You do not need to wait until the 90 day window opens.
Whether you file with a waiver or jointly- all applications need to submit proof of bonafide marriage. So thats number one. Number 2- deciding what box or boxes to check for a waiver (you can check more then one). The general advice on VJ is one of common sense. The more boxes you check the more you have to prove. When you check multiple boxes you must meet not only the above bonafide marriage proof but satisfy each box you selected. So if you check divorce and abuse you have to prove both. Failure to prove everything you checked will be a denial.
To prove a divorce all you need is the final divorce decree. (simple enough for most). To prove abuse though--- well now you are getting into something more complicated. You have to realize USCIS has their own standards of what is abuse. Its not exactly what the criminal code defines in all instances nor what common sense tells you is abuse.
Battery (according to the USCIS) is physical violence- punching, slapping, forced sex. Extreme cruelty is nonviolent abuse intentionally inflicted upon you in order to dominate, control, or humiliate you. You may have evidence for "battery" or "extreme cruelty" or both.The instructions list examples of what they will consider however its not an exhaustive list and not everyone will have everything on the list.
For either type people typically submit an affidavit giving in detail and specific instances of the spouse’s abusive actions explaining how the actions hurt them and controlled their life. You will also need evidence to prove that you were a victim of domestic violence, so you really need to provide more than just a personal statement. Other things include what you mentioned above like official reports from police and medical personnel, medical records and photographs of injuries, and affidavits from social workers or others who can describe instances of abuse. So referring to your questions- 1-What records could she get? Well I dont know. What records exist?? Ideally she should get all of them. 2-Yes an order of protection can also be called a restraining order. Different areas give them different names. 3- Evidence like messages can be submitted but it can not be all you have. For translation purposes anyone who speaks both fluently can 'certify' them. You dont need to pay a service for that. There is a template (if you search VJ) for preparing a statement that basically says I am able to translate and I did. 4- Benefits vary from state to state. You would have to contact the local dept of social services to see if she qualifies. You may be able to find the information online. 5-What else can she do? Hmm well what has she done so far? Typically in threads like this the poster will outline all the evidences they have so far and ask for opinions on what is missing or what can be added to strengthen it. Youve given no such info. ----------- Anyway like I said the general advice on VJ is to not tick a difficult box like abuse waiver unless you must. If she has proof of a bonafide marriage and is able to get a divorce then you really only need to check the divorce box. Some people must check the abuse box because their proofs of marriage are weak due to the abuse. While I do not have an official source for it- its generally understood that if you have weak marriage evidence due to the abuse and can prove the abuse then they are a bit more flexible in approving it with weak marriage bonafides. The only other thing to consider is if you file based on abuse and are approved you can file for citizenship in 3 years (otherwise its 5-both from the resident since date). Becoming a citizen can really help disadvantaged people as more benefits are available to them.
